Under Solaris by default, the home dirs are under /export/home.
/home is the automount point that mount /export/home and any nfs home dirs.

Pick your poision
                                   - modify automounter so /home is not mounted
- this would be if you are not mounting any nfs home directories
                                   - Leave it alone and remember where the home
dirs really are.

I've had this problem before.  In solaris 7 server 5/99.  I had to
make my home dirs in /export/home/*.  I don't know why but it won't
make things in /home.
